Durwood Zaelke, President of IGSD, Rick Duke, Deputy Special Envoy for Climate at the U.S. Department of State, and David Kanter, Associate Professor of Environmental Studies at New York University, joined our #BuyMoreTime session from COP29 in Baku earlier this year.

With just one month left in his presidency, Joe Biden has unveiled a transformative climate plan targeting a 61-66% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2035. For the first time, the U.S. NDC includes a 35% reduction in methane emissions, aligning perfectly with our #BuyMoreTime campaign‘s call to tackle short-term warming and stabilize global temperatures.

Methane’s inclusion is a game-changer: it delivers rapid cooling, sets a benchmark for transparency, and provides a model for global climate action. This commitment also addresses other pollutants like HFCs and nitrous oxide, demonstrating how targeted policies can amplify climate strategies.

The big question: Will this bold vision survive under Donald Trump’s administration? Read more in our full article to uncover why optimism persists, driven by strong state, local, and private-sector efforts–and find out how you can help push progress forward!
